一直以来，我的艺术追求是对于自然与生命的热爱。人生的丰富体验对于艺术家来说是非常重要的，没有丰富的阅历就没有丰富的情感，没有行走四方的经历，就没有博大的胸怀。这个世界上，每一次遇到的人事物都是冥冥之中命运的安排，我们需要好好珍惜和认真对待。

My artistic pursuit has always been my love for nature and life.Rich experience in life is very important for artists. Without rich experience, there will be no rich emotions. Without the experience of traveling around, there will be no broad mind.In this world, every person and thing we encounter is an arrangement of destiny. We need to cherish it and take it seriously.

艺术来自于生活，艺术家只有不断充分的去体验生活，自由独立的思考，才能持续获得艺术创作上的动力。早在多年前，开始创作作品的时候，我就开始思考关于宇宙，世界，生命的本源，以及世界上各种事物给我的启发和感受。

Art comes from life. Only by constantly and fully experiencing life and thinking freely and independently can artists continue to gain motivation for artistic creation.As early as many years ago, when I started creating works, I began to think about the universe, the world, the origin of life, and the inspiration and feelings that various things in the world gave me.

过去至今我创作过星系系列作品、海之韵系列作品、陶瓷与音乐的对话系列、大地诗集系列作品、暗器系列作品、大地之歌系列作品。纵观这些作品都是体现我的艺术观念。

In the past, I have created the Galaxy series, the Rhythm of the Sea series, the Dialogue between Ceramics and Music series, the Earth Poems series, the Hidden Weapon series, and the Song of the Earth series.Throughout these works, they all reflect my artistic concepts.

这次分享的最新艺术视频是我于2023年下半年创作的一系列黑陶器物系列，每一个器物就是一个独立的小宇宙。这个系列是源于我的暗器系列作品的器物部分，我使用古老的黑陶材料进行创新，从粘土的造型、修整、装饰、反复烧制，亲手制作出每一件作品。

The latest art video shared this time is a series of black pottery objects that I created in the second half of 2023. Each object is an independent small universe.This series is derived from my hidden weapon series. I use ancient black pottery materials to innovate. From clay modeling, trimming, decoration, and repeated firing, I make each work by hand.

我通过作品的形式，用一种深沉而又简练的艺术语言，述说我对自然和生命的热爱与敬畏。

我用土与火的旋律，吟唱出深沉的大地之歌。

Through the form of my works, I use a deep and concise artistic language to describe my love and awe for nature and life.

I use the melody of earth and fire to sing the deep song of the earth.
